Veltheimia capensis variety

Doug Westfall

This is a rather interesting view of leaf variety in Veltheimia capensis. The one in the center of the picture I believe is a cross between capensis and bracteata. I cannot prove it. Note the width of the leaves. They are as wide as the very widest bracteata but have the "dusty gray" of the capensis.

The inflorescence is not like the bracteata, but it is like the capensis.

Any observations or comments?
